I use to be jealous and I mean really jealous of this one girl. Because she was super rich and ignorant and I was super poor and trying to just survive day to day. Since then we became enemies but I learned a important lesson that is instead of being jealous learn how to play the game. By being smart, wise and cunning instead of jealous and fearful you can also attain wealth and even surpass anyone you might of been jealous of.
I get jealous when my loved one is hanging out with someone else but me and I just feel like there doing some behind my back even tho I know they wouldn’t ;(
Jealousy is a horrible feeling, a perfect mix of anger, anxiety and heartbreak, even in minor situations its really uncomfortable
Jealousy makes me feel a similar feeling to heartbreak. That sharp fluttery pain I feel in my heart. It makes me ANGRY and depressed.
There is no satisfying answer or solution to feeling jealous or envious. You can only scientifically understand it because it is irrational feeling. You know that other are better, prettier, more talented and smarter than you. You know that others make more money and have more comfortable life than you. You know that others are experiencing more interesting lives than you. Yet, you still feel that because they have it and you don't. It gets even worse when you try to experience same things as them and you fail at it. It can make you depressed and feeling worthless and hopeless. You know that feeling is not productive and overall not good for you. It makes you feel worse than others. Even when you choose to not think about it, you still don't get that satisfaction that everything is alright. You wish you had it like others, had that money, fame, talents, interests. It is unquestionable and it is a challenging problem and I don't see any solution for it. Even when you find something that interests you more, you find some hobby there will be others in the same field that are better than you so it will make you still jealous and envious. I can't see any fix to it. If you have please explain it scientifically, what happens in brain, what are real solutions that can make you get rid of that feeling. Is it even possible? Doesn't it make us human to be jealous/envious?
I think I have just had my own strategy now: Step1: Write down what makes you jealous (just like the video has mentioned) Step2: Think about that and try to figure it out how you can change it ( because I think people get jealous about what they don't have) Example: if you jealous about other people are having more money and friends than you. Let's think about your problem . You can try to study harder to have a better job and challenge yourself talking with strangers. Step3: You must realise that people have their own life and their own experiences. They cannot have your experience and you cannot see what their lives are going through. Your experience is unique ! Be positive!
the thing is: i get jealous so easily its just toxic at this point, im scared to tell my loved ones about it because i dont want to spread toxicity and dont want them to get hurt/not want to hang out with me because of me overreacting
When my friends become better than me at something I love, I tend to hate myself. Is that jealousy.
it's not "I hate that they're more successful than me" it's more like "why can't this be me"
I know that I'm jealous. But admitting it and being honest doesn't help. I'm still really jealous, and I can't help it. 😒
When someone compares u to others, that's where u start comparing urself to others... That's how my jealousy comes in
I'm jealous of Bill Gates, and I don't know if I can talk to him about this
Step 4: Cry
I don't get jealous, just really freaking depressed.
I'm so happy to see that i'm not alone with this problem. Thank you for the comments guys! You really make me to believe in hope in this situation! <3
Everytime I'm jealous, I just smile and pretend like there's nothing wrong but when I'm already alone, I'll overthink everything and then starts to cry about it.
The jealousy of seeing ur crush with someone else like ur bestfriend... Fkin hate when that happens
Take a deep breath. It will all be okay. Jealousy is a temporary feeling. Everyone experiences it and it’s normal. You are absolutely perfect and amazing just the way you are. I’m jealous right now as I’m typing this, but I’m learning to control my emotions better. You can do it I believe in you <3
Reading the comments and watching this video really helped me finally open my eyes. I have seriously bad jealousy which mixes in with my really bad anxiety. I'm always jealous of other people's intelligence, beauty, accomplishments, talents, etc. I also have a boyfriend and every time he mentions a girl's name, I get that jealous feeling. But I read a few comments saying how they shouldn't let that jealousy feeling consume you and to see the bigger picture. This video as well helped me control the jealousy feeling too. I hope I get even better soon for I am still struggling every now and then.
